I think a CRB check is between £10-12. I have the forms here somewhere for when I start applying for jobs in gyms.

The only reason I am doing my own is alot of places seem to prefer it as it saves them the effort.

You can get them from the police station, fill them in and then send them off with the fee.Blagsta said:

After the 3rd job application my wife sent off which had to have a cheque enclosed for £48 for the CRB check I got rather pissed off, as I am with you.
At the level my wife works, (she is currently in charge of 60 patients overnight) a CRB check before a job application is looked at is common practice.

Can't they just carry them over? My sister in law works for an agency sometimes as a nursing sister and she's had one CRB check and that's it.chymaera said:

Organisations do not do CRB checks at the application stage. You're mistaken or the Jobcentre's been scamming your money off you.

All the jobs my wife applied for wanted the money upfront with the application form. (Including where she now works, but they have refunded it).
The JobCentre did not ask for the money. They are now paying it direct so the problems is solved from a job applicant point of view.

Either you're making it up or the organisations that your wife is applying to are taking her for a ride. It is very bad practice to (a) expect a CRB check with the application and (b) expect the applicant to pay. With your track record, I think you're making it up for some obscure reason of your own.

What I suggest you do is ask the goverment minister dealing with the problem of CRB checks being paid before an application is looked at:-
James Plaskitt MP
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State
Department for Work and Pensions
Caxton House
Tothill Street
London
SW1H 9DA
He can be e-mailed from here:-

Dont know who is right but where I work (in education) once you are offered a job and signed the contract you get CRB checked at works expense and you cant work alone in a classroom until its back and clear. They are redone every couple of years.
I also work for an examining board and have to have one done for that even though they know I have to have a current clear one for my main job. I dont know if they are transferrable but id guess that each organisation has to be fully responsible to ensure its done so do it themselves rather than take the chance another organisation has slipped up.
If we use agency people we still do our own CRB checks.

I can't see what the point is of an individual obtaining their own CRB check. What's to stop someone getting a CRB check done, scanning it into a computer and altering it and sending the amended version to the potential employer?chymaera said:
That would defeat the whole point of a CRB check.

Individuals can't apply for CRB checks, it has to be done through the potential employer or an umbrella organisation. You also have to supply original ID, no one's going to post that with every job application. Most places want you to come in so they can verify the ID. They're not going to invite every applicant in. I strongly suspect tobyjug is bullshitting as usual. Odd thing to bullshit about though.
A copy gets sent to you and a copy to the potential employer. The potential employer is supposed to destroy it as soon as they have made their recruitment decisions, they cannot keep it on file.

are we there yet?
i've had 5 of the fuckers done so far this year, one for every agency I'm signed on with, and one for BUPA. I've not had to pay for one of them, altho I hear some agencies do ask for this.
I've applied and been interviewed for several jobs (within different PCTs) and none of them have asked for a CRB check up front. The BUPA hospital did one after I'd been offered a job, but I couldn't start work until it was done - even tho I already had more enhanced disclosures less than 6 months old than you could shake a stick at.

So I can carry it over?
I have found my GCHQ certificate, I'd presume that carries more weight than a CRB check as it clears me for governmental, MoD and central government. They even asked who my parents went to school with and their headteacher
Fuck it, if they want me. It is up to them to sort out and the NHS personnel dept' are usually quite good ime.
